research Footprints of the EADV: A Meeting Report from the 17th Congress of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology
The conference highlighted new dermatological treatments and emphasized early intervention and addressing conditions lacking evidence-based treatments.
research Local Heroes or Villains: Tissue-Resident Memory T Cells in Human Health and Disease
Tissue-resident memory T cells can protect against infections and cancer but may also contribute to autoimmune diseases.
research Tumor Regression Predicts Higher Risk of Sentinel Node Involvement in Thin Cutaneous Melanomas
Shrinking skin cancer increases the chance of cancer in nearby lymph nodes.
research Spontaneous Tumor Regression in Keratoacanthomas Is Driven by Wnt/Retinoic Acid Signaling Cross-Talk
Skin tumor regression is helped by retinoic acid signaling blocking Wnt signaling.
research Stromal Re-Organization in Hair Follicle Development and Cancer Suppression
Activating Sonic Hedgehog signaling in cancer stroma may help treat basal cell carcinoma.
research From Basal Cell Carcinoma Morphogenesis to Alopecia Induced by Hedgehog Inhibitors: Connecting the Dots
The article concludes that hair loss is a common side effect of drugs treating skin cancer by blocking the hedgehog pathway, but treatment should continue, and more selective drugs might prevent this side effect.
research The Dynamic Duo: Niche and Stem Cell Interdependency
Stem cells and their surrounding environment in hair follicles work closely together, affecting hair growth and having implications for cancer and tissue regeneration.
research Preliminary Evaluation of Reflectance Confocal Microscopy Features of Scalp Melanoma
Reflectance confocal microscopy is useful for diagnosing scalp melanomas, which have features similar to those on the trunk.
research Patched1 Functions as a Gatekeeper by Promoting Cell Cycle Progression
The study investigated the role of Patched1 (Ptch1) in cell cycle progression and its function as a gatekeeper in preventing tumorigenesis, particularly in skin tumors resembling human basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Researchers found that loss of Ptch1 in mouse models led to rapid skin tumor formation, increased nuclear accumulation of cyclin D1 and B1, and enhanced cell proliferation, indicating Ptch1's role as a tumor suppressor. The study highlighted that Ptch1 loss predisposed cells to a tumorigenic fate by facilitating cell cycle progression, rather than through Wnt signaling. The research suggested that targeting the Hedgehog pathway, which involves Ptch1, could be a potential therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment, as inhibiting this pathway induced tumor regression in Ptch1-deficient mice.
research Dermoscopy of Scalp Tumors: A Multi-Center Study Conducted by the International Dermoscopy Society
The study concluded that scalp tumors show different patterns based on age, gender, and tumor thickness, and emphasized the importance of early detection and scalp examinations.
research Clinical, Dermoscopic, and Histological Characteristics of Melanoma Patients According to Age Groups: A Retrospective Observational Study
Melanoma characteristics vary by age, which could help doctors with diagnosis and prevention.
research Male Pattern Baldness and Risk of Incident Skin Cancer in a Cohort of Men
Male pattern baldness is linked to a higher risk of certain skin cancers, especially on the scalp.
research Recent Advances on Skin-Resident Stem/Progenitor Cell Functions in Skin Regeneration, Aging, and Cancers and Novel Anti-Aging and Cancer Therapies
New treatments targeting skin stem cells show promise for skin repair, anti-aging, and cancer therapy.
research Male Pattern Baldness and Risk of Incident Skin Cancer in a Cohort of Men
Men with male pattern baldness have a higher risk of certain skin cancers, especially on the scalp.
research Retinoids for Chemoprophylaxis of Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer
Retinoids can prevent skin cancer in high-risk people but have side effects and require more research on dosing and effectiveness.
research Worldwide Cancer Incidences Analyzed by Sex, Age, and Skin Type Over Time (1955-2007), Excluding Skin Cancer, Reveals Important Carcinogenic Drivers
Cancer rates are increasing in developed countries, with estrogen, aging, low vitamin D3, and HPV infection as common causes.
research Smoking and the Skin: Effects and Therapeutic Potential
Smoking harms the skin, causing early aging and increasing cancer risk, but stopping smoking can improve skin health.
research Estrogen Functions in Skin and Skin Appendages
Oestrogens help maintain healthy skin, heal wounds, and may protect against skin aging and cancer.
research Prevalence and Associated Factors of Skin Cancer in Aged Nursing Home Residents: A Multicenter Prevalence Study
Skin cancer is common in elderly nursing home residents, with risk factors including being male, having light skin, outdoor work history, and smoking. Regular skin checks are recommended.
research Multi-Scale Spatial Mapping of Cell Populations Across Anatomical Sites in Healthy Human Skin and Basal Cell Carcinoma
The research created a detailed map of skin cells, showing that certain cells in basal cell carcinoma may come from hair follicles and could help the cancer grow.
research SOX2 in the Skin: Roles in Biology and Pathology
SOX2 is crucial for skin cell function and hair growth, and it plays a role in skin cancer and wound healing.
research Data from Elevated Cutaneous Smad Activation Associates with Enhanced Skin Tumor Susceptibility in Organ Transplant Recipients
